1916 1920 Catalonia Passengers Besalu Santiago Ortega
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early 20th century, specifically between the years 1916 and 1920. It offers a partial view of Besalu, a picturesque town in Girona, Catalonia. The focal point of this image is the impressive highway bridge that connects Olot to Girona, with a bus line traversing it. The vintage charm of this postcard transports us to an era when transportation was still evolving. The sight of the bus crossing the bridge gives us a glimpse into how people traveled during those times. Passengers can be seen inside the vehicle, perhaps eagerly exploring new destinations or returning home after an adventure. The monochrome palette adds depth and character to this historical snapshot. It allows us to appreciate every architectural detail in Besalu's skyline as well as capture the essence of life in early 20th-century Spain. This particular print comes from a private collection owned by Santiago Ortega, whose passion for preserving history shines through his remarkable assortment. While we don't have information about its commercial use, it serves as a valuable piece documenting Catalonia's rich heritage and transport evolution. As we gaze upon this image frozen in time, we are reminded of how far we've come while cherishing our roots and appreciating the progress made over decades past.
